i like the picks , as long as we get huff or williams iam not mad, even tho i prefer williams , but if we came away with huff , latui and a ilb ,then its a great draft and we need a de , we strengthen up the d- line then it makes great lb play and with bailey and lehman and holmes , woods, and wayne ..

Updated list of potential Lion picks in the 2006 NFL Draft. The # before the name of the player indicates how many mock draft sites they appeared on, and therefore Mathius Kiwanuka is the most popular pick for the Lions on the mock drafts I've seen. Here's a link to all the mock drafts: http://www.hailredskins.com/MockDraft.htm

I could definitely live with this. I have been touting Schlegel in a big way. If he is available in round three, I would be very happy. Lutui is still a wild card. I would like to see him bring his weight down, but he showed good ability in the Rose Bowl. Some are saying he's good enough to move to tackle in the NFL. The Tim Day selection may have to be used on a DE, depending on what shakes loose in FA. Also, I don't believe we will have a seventh round pick, unless we somehow get awarded a comp.

it's pretty hard to imagine that the lions will go through this draft without picking up a QB anywhere. i definitely dont believe it should be early, but i think you have to draft one, especially with our situation every year.

I disagree... I think any NFL roster should only have one project NFL Qb and we have that in Orlovsky. IMO drafting a Qb now would not only take time away from developing the kid we traded up to get, but it would also render one of the picks (the Orlovsky pick or the new pick) useless.

Excellent point and I agree. I think Dan O deserves another year to show improvement before another QB is brought in to develop. And besides, with only five picks we need to plug other holes first. FS, MLB, CB, DE, OG and maybe OT will be our most urgent needs.

Drafting a Developmental Qb should only be done if the new coach doesn't like Dan and feels there is a better opinion to go. I do agree with mkarateman that with 5 picks we have bigger needs. I hope they don't draft another young Qb b/c we have all seen our success at doing that. and wouldn't help the team. But Remember we are the LIons who take s 3 WR in round 1.

Updated!

This 2006 NFL Mock Draft will consist of one round. There will be no trades, if you have any problems with my picks just post right away and I will give you my point of view. I will be posting more mocks either every week or every other week, so stay tuned for more Pre Combine Mock Drafts. My next draft will be after the Senior Bowl, and it will consist of two rounds with trades; so stay tuned for that as well. Thank you and enjoy!

1-9: Michael Huff, DB, Texas
2-40: Taitsui Lutui, OG, USC
3-74: Elvis Dumervil, DE, Louisville5-136: Anthony Schlegel, LB, OSU6-169: Devin Hester, KR, Miami (FL)I don't think any of these picks will fall as far as you have them listed. I like the Schlegel pick, but he will go much earlier than most mocks and analysts figure. Dumervil is a likely candidate as an OLB in a 3-4 system, but will likely go round two. Hester will go in about round three or four.or OT Rashan Butler, Miami (FL)

18.) Dallas Cowboys ? ILB.::.D'Qwell Jackson.::.Maryland Way too early for Jackson here. Besides, the Cowboys have more needs on offense, particularly along their o-line. Santonio Holmes or Eric Winston make more sense here.

Also.........Parcells wants bigger LBs now that they have switched to the 3-4 defense. He really wanted to replace Ngyuen this year, but an injury to Burnett delayed that move.

In addition to O-line.........they have a big need at FS.........a speedy coverage guy in particular to make up for Roy Williams lack of coverage ability.

Quote:

19.) San Diego Chargers ? S.::.Darnell Bing.::.USC Ko Simpson is a better pick here. But San Diego also needs an offensive tackle. Winston or Scott make more sense if they pass on Simpson. Santonio Holmes is a consideration here as well.

Safety is a need for the Chargers...........but it is a FS they need.

Bing is definitely a SS in the NFL.

Sorry there's no trades... I sought it hard and pointless to be projecting trades.

Ahmad Brooks is from Virginia and Abdul Hodge is from Iowa. You swapped them in the pick selection at the bottom.

As well, I'd be pissed if we took Hali. Great motor, yes, but we should take Justice at that point - he'd be more valuable than a rookie DE IMO.

I don't think Zona will go with Justice and pass up Cutler. I honestly think that they'll take him even if they sign Warner to a deal (2 year deal for Warner I think, or 3 years but they'll keep him for 2). That'll give Cutler some time to develope.

Hodge won't be there in Rd 2 IMO. I would love him to be our pick, but I don't think he'll be there.

Don't like Tampa's pick.

I think Bing is overrated.

I like Cincy taking a DT, but I still think Gabe is as overrated as they come.

I think Lutui will be the top OG taken after the combine. One solid OG (MGJ, Joseph, or Lutui) will be there when we pick in the 2nd and should be our pick IMO.
